We are looking for an electric fireplace log set that we can build a surround for. We do not have an existing fireplace. Would this unit work in a metal lined wooden box area with open front? We aren't interested in having a glass panel in front. We could provide venting if needed

1 Answer

This would indeed be perfect for what you're looking to do, and would require no venting.

The 12310 is the newer unit. It used LED lights as the 12309 uses chandler 60 Watt bulbs. The LED lighting is a better quality look then the standard 60 bulb and last MUCH longer. Patented LED inner glow logs and pulsating ember technology allow the logs and embers to glow in concert creating an unmatched realistic fireplace experience. I do warn that the 12309 is being discontinued by Dimplex.

I have a wood burning fireplace - would like to convert it to electric but still have that real fireplace look. My wood burner is 34" wide, 21" deep and the back measures at 24" wide. The front has glass doors. What do I need to do to make this conversion ?

1 Answer

To make this conversion, you would want this insert as well as the surround listed as its accessory, which would cover the space between the insert and the edges of the fireplace opening.

Perfect replacement for old wood burning fireplace

This would be a perfect alternative for an old wood burning fireplace. But since our room is well insulated, we were unsure if will include the gas insert in our purchase since it would not be used often, but still we bought it since we can get the realistic looking fire even without heat. The heat is not too powerful though. I am not recommending this product if you are planning to insulate your room with this.

Satisfied with my purchase.

I am very happy with the purchase of my Dimplex fireplace insert. It makes my living room more beautiful than it was before. I mainly bought it for looks. I even use it in the summer time when I sit in my living area. Our fireplace needed costly repairs anyway, so we installed our electrical box right in the fireplace itself, making look even more realistic. I also put lava rock around the bottom. The heat is okay for warming one's backside. I am glad I bought it!

Majestic Electric Fireplace!

This heater became my lifesaver. It was installed during Haloween. My old furnace had cracks in it so I need to turn it off to prevent it from emitting carbon monoxide around the house. Thanks to this heated and it warmed up my house alternatively. It is just reliable since it warmed up the entire 1st floor and had enough heat left for the 2nd and third floor!
